This iBook brings together a fascinating suite of images and discoveries made by satellites. They unfold in front of you with a simple touch of a finger. This is ESA’s first iBook. In a way, it is a consequence of what we are doing every day: employing modern technologies to acquire and spread knowledge. By …
A number of educational posters on remote sensing principles and applications for beginners are here available for download and use in schools. They are available in a (variable) number of languages, including English (EN) – Spanish (ES) – Greek (GR) – Czech (CZ) – German (DE) – Italian (IT).
The Eduspace website aims to provide secondary school students and teachers with a learning and teaching tool. It is meant to be an entry point for space image data, and, in particular, to a widespread visibility of Earth observation applications for education and training. The Eduspace website encourages teachers to use Earth observation data in …
LEOWorks is an educational open source software for inspecting and analyzing satellite images. It represents the main tool for demonstrating Earth Observation techniques within the European Earth Observation Web Site for Secondary Schools – EDUSPACE,, belonging to the European Space Agency (ESA). Originally, LEOWorks 3.0 was developed by the EDUSPACE team and used for displaying, …
How can we measure air quality? How can we observe remote places with no safety risk? How do we monitor earthquakes and derive tsunami alerts? How can we join forces and give help during an emergency via a mapathon? These are only a few of the questions raised and discussed during the School Labs that …
EO Browser makes it possible to browse and compare full resolution images from the a complete archive of Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, Sentinel-3, Sentinel-5P, ESA’s archive of Landsat 5, 7 and 8, global coverage of Landsat 8, Envisat Meris, Proba-V, MODIS and GIBS products. You simply go to your area of interest, select criteria such as time range …
Bilko was first developed for UNESCO in 1987 to provide free image processing capability for education use. The software has since been updated regularly, to keep pace with developments in remote sensing technology. It now supports data from Envisat AATSR, ASAR, MERIS, RA-2 as well as ERS, SMOS, CryoSat and Jason-2. Functionalities include: Interactive and batch mode processing …
LearnEO! is an Earth observation education project funded by the European Space Agency. Its aim is to increase the understanding of satellite data from ESA missions and show how these can be used to tackle environmental problems in the real world. It provides hands-on training resources for use primarily (but not exclusively) by teachers and …
Following on from the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg in 2002, the “World of Water” atlas aims at raising people’s awareness of the importance of water and its management. Using up-to-date satellite data, the atlas highlights a number of the most crucial aspects of the resource, whether exemplifying global dimensions or revealing regional or local effects. The atlas …
ESA and Geospace launched an educational resource in the form of the ESA School Atlas. As a complement to the more conventional atlas, this represents an evolutionary leap in teaching resources, using satellite data to show the Earth as it really is. The Atlas is built on satellite imagery and is packed with the most current …
